[ale] Mythtv Build-In

[Cliff Free]

You'd have to put the mythtv between your dish box and the TV, just like
with a VCR.  The drawback is you may not be able to control the dish box (
i.e. change channels) via the mythtv interface.  I'm not sure about all
this, but I've heard that its more difficult to get mythtv to work with a
satellite set-up.
